Building and Customizing a List Report in Bullhorn Reporting (Previously Canvas)

List reports in Bullhorn Reporting allow you to take information that you want to report on and add the information to columns within your list report.

You have the ability to extensively customize the look and feel of your list report to truly make it your own.

Building a List Report

  1. In the Canvas Studio, select the Toolbox tab on the Insertable Objects menu, then double-click on List to add a list to the canvas.
  2. Give your list a name and query name then click OK.
    • The list will now appear in the canvas.
  3. Select the three dots located at the top-left of the newly added list.
    • This ensures that the data items we add in the next step will populate within the list.
  4. Select the Sources tab, then double-click on the desired data items within one analysis package to add them to your list.

You can double-click multiple data items to add them to each column in your list report.

You can only pull fields from one analysis package per reporting object.

When you are finished adding data items to your list, the canvas will display the list and any columns you chose to include.


The next section of this article will show you how you can customize your list report.
